The second 2007-2008 Saturday Fun and Learning Day sponsored by Heads Up, GEAR UP and the Parent-Educator Resource Center was held Saturday, October 27th at Calhoun Middle-High School.

Breakfast was served to all participants and then parents attended a session conducted by the Parent-Education Resource Center entitled Loving Guidance while their children played games.

Everyone enjoyed the Halloween atmosphere with parents participating with their children in the following activities, piñatas, tattoos, popcorn fright hands, decorating cupcakes, scare throw and haunted house.

Stick-on tattoos, always a favorite

There was approximately 104 students and 78 adults in attendance on Saturday with parents, Lori Bailey, Nikki Boatright, Charles Metz and Cindy Rush winning $20 Pit Stop gift cards, door prizes donated by Heads Up.

Parents and children who attend five of the eight sessions are eligible for a trip to Idlewild Park in spring 2008.
